Let me start by saying that I think that the way contracts are done and followed through with in the NFL is very unfair, and should be revised. That being said, when I read that T.O. was denied by the arbitrator to be released or traded, I came across something that really pissed me off:
The players association was so incensed, however, that executive director Gene Upshaw said he would have Bloch removed from the list of approved arbitrators next month when both the union and management are given that option.
"He piled on," Upshaw said. "He went beyond what we have in the agreement. When I have an arbitrator go beyond the agreement, I have no choice. Clearly, when you look at this case, is decision even went beyond what the Eagles said in their legal briefs."
All I can say is; BOO-FUCKIN'-HOO. You lost the case, just as you should have, and now you are gonna remove this guy from the list of acceptable arbitrators because he ruled against you? What a bunch of shit. You get rulings in your favor 98% of the time anyway.
Grow up and accept the fact that you were wrong, plain and simple.
